Health begins in the digestive tract! High levels of stress, a diet low in fiber, high in fat and sugar and poor eating habits have caused an epidemic level of lower intestinal tract problems. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common digestive disorder seen by physicians. In IBS, the normally rhythmic muscular contractions of the digestive tract become irregular, interfering with the normal movement of food and waste and leads to growth of mucus and toxins in the intestines. Symptoms of IBS may include constipation and/or diarrhea (often alternating), abdominal pain, mucus in the stools, nausea, flatulence, bloating, anorexia and intolerance to certain foods.
